'One of Those Seasons' - Start of Israel Trip.

Israel Trip April 2011

I am boarding a plane this morning, flying to Newark and then overnight to Tel Aviv, Israel.  I will join our International South team there for a week of meetings, time together for planning, and reflection in the Holy Land.  We are just starting Young Life in the Middle East and this will be a strategic advance trip to meet with key leaders and prospective leaders, pray, just ‘be’ and ‘dream’ together for what Young Life will look like in Israel, Palestine, and the entire Middle East.  Picture is the family Easter picture.  So fun to be travelling to the Holy Land the Monday after Easter!!
